Schools have welcomed the vaccination drive, initiated by Indian Government, to vaccinate students in the 15-18 age group against the virus from 03 January 2022 in order to render campuses safe in the midst of the pandemic and protect students against COVID-19, eventually helping restart physical classes.

The management of Don Bosco School and Junior College Nashik, thus organised an on-campus vaccination drive on 27 January 2022 from 10am to 4pm for 80 students aged 15 and above.

The students were administered the first dose of Covaxin, through Dr. Sandeep Jaibhave of Nashik Municipal Corporation. The medical team comprised 5 doctors, 4 nurses and 7 nursing students from the Nursing College.
